NEWS: Shepard Fairey x Stephen Colbert (2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Poster)

// March 20th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Collaborations, NEWS, OBEY

Apparently the American representative with the strongest agenda to “DEFEAT THE WORLD” is hilarious right-wing ballsy pundit, Stephen Colbert. In Colbert’s quest to both support the American speed skating team and his personal quest for Olympic glory, the irreverent host had enlisted the help of Shepard Fairey to create his Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics campaign poster. With a torch in one hand and riding the bald eagle in reign, his attempt looks hilariously regal. Download the image for free and if you wish to obey, Colbert is urging all to help spread the good word about his trip to Vancouver. And this is from Colbert’s personal rally:

Nation! Join Stephen on his quest for Olympic glory LIVE at Creekside Park next to Science World at 1455 Quebec Street in Vancouver, BC on February 17th and 18th at 9:15am.

NEWS: OBEY Compassion (His Holiness the Dalai Lama)

// March 19th, 2010 // No Comments » // NEWS, OBEY

In recognition of the 75th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama along with the 13th March being the Tibetan Independence Day, Shepard Fairey has created a limited edition print of His Holiness (500 Print Run). The work is based on an image taken by Don Farber; who has spent more than 30 years covering the Tibetan leader and community in exile. These limited edition prints are being snapped up really quick, so don’t sleep on this one. Available via the Obey online store.

“I’ve always had a great admiration for His Holiness and his non-violent approach to the plight of the Tibetan people. When I was approached with the opportunity to work with this beautiful image as a sanctioned source, and create a work that evoked the Dalai Lama’s presence as I feel it, I was thrilled. I hope His Holiness remains a presence of compassion in the world for many birthdays to come!” – Shepard Fairey
